Crochet Hair Wig · Lena's Second Halloween!

by Sweet Softies - October 31, 2021

Happy Halloween, friends!

It's Lena Rose's second Halloween, and I decided to try my hand at making her a wig this year to match the pretty Chinese dress that she's wearing!

Being the crochet addict that I am, I incorporated crochet into this project, of course. The hair cap is crocheted using double crochet stitches. Once that section was complete, I went ahead and cut long strands of black yarn to attach to some of the stitches in the last round, before braiding them together. I also added bangs to the top, and decided to keep them long but pull them to the side for a side-swept look. Lastly, I crocheted several red flowers to add to the side of her cap, using the Layered Rose pattern (free).

It was a lot of fun to make, and quite amusing to see what Lena would look like with long hair! Being a wiggly 15-month-old, she didn't stay still long enough for me to snap shots of her looking towards me. So unfortunately, here's what I have!

She also wasn't as big of a fan of the hair cap as her parents were, haha! We oo'ed and ahh'ed over her ensemble, but she was skilled at pulling it off her head with lightning speed. I wonder if she has a vendetta against headwear in general, because hats, bonnets, headbands, etc., have all been no-go's for Lena as of late!
